I'd bet on the gorilla. I think a gorilla would have more power in its punch and could potentially evade the attacks of a lion. All the lion really has is its big teeth and nasty bite, whereas the gorilla has slightly more humanistic moves.

Would be an interesting fight though (ugh I hope the WWE doesn't get any ideas from this).

Have you seen a lion's paws n' claws? Heck, even a lion's tongue could rip human skin off...

Lions have better night vision, so if this is happening at night the gorilla doesn't stand a chance. Also, I fear people are thinking of King Kong when it comes to the gorilla; we're talking regular gorilla vs. regular lion here, no?

Lions are built expressly for killing other large predators. The mistresses would do better in a pack. But the male pride lion of large size would kill the Gorilla. It's just not in the Gorillas instinct to execute very well any type of death grip, or bite.

That's all a "Lion" of the the best example has been evolutionarily bred to do. Make little lions, and kill anything the mistresses can't handle. It's a killer, a maneater even. Gorilla, big hairy man, but man never the less.

i was surprised to see this tied 5-5. i think a lion has a big advantage. it's so quick and powerful and it has claws. unless a gorilla has a giant rock to throw at the lion i don't see how he has the advantage.

[QUOTE=Clock;22040146]How would the gorilla kill the lion? That's what I'm hung up on. The lion obviously has claws, teeth, and a ridiculously powerful jaw that it can use to really kill an adversary. The gorilla has...?[/QUOTE

Gorilla's have pretty damn big teeth too, Also the pure strenth of them are pretty impressive. One thing some of you arent putting into account here is the Gorilla's opposible thumbs.
